Keynotes

Keynote by speaker Kristen Hadeed: YOU’VE GOT THIS! GROW RESILIENCE & BEAT BURNOUT

When we feel overextended, exhausted, and overwhelmed, it doesn’t just hurt us; it hurts the people around us. The key to reducing overwhelm and working more effectively and productively is knowing how to prioritize time, energy, and well-being. It requires setting boundaries and prioritizing ourselves so that we can give our best to those around us. The better we get at this, the more efficient we are, the more our quality of work improves, the lower our stress levels become, and the more fulfilled we feel at work and in our lives. In this session, Kristen will help you tap into your inner resilience and recenter yourself around what is in your control: the impact you have on yourself and others. She’ll teach you how to prioritize your well-being, be more impactful with your time and energy, and set more “human” expectations.

Attendees will experience an immediately applicable shift in their ability to:

Combat burnout and achieve sustainable work-life harmony Work in their sweet spot—the place where they feel the most energized, fulfilled, and impactful

Prioritize daily activities and work smarter to achieve greater results

Set boundaries and realistic expectations that honor their capacity

Keynote by speaker Kristen Hadeed: PERMISSION TO SCREW UP: HOW TO REFRAME YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH FAILURE

Strong leadership isn’t about knowing all the answers and getting things right on the first try; it’s about having the courage to take risks, make mistakes, ask for help, and admit when you don’t feel strong.

Building on the themes in her bestselling book, Permission To Screw Up, Kristen will teach you how to let go of perfectionism, reframe your relationship with failure, and give yourself the permission to be human.

You’ll learn how to create a culture where failure equates to growth, where people feel more empowered and psychologically safe, and where collaboration and innovation go hand-in-hand.

Attendees will experience an immediately applicable shift in their ability to:

Reframe their relationship with failure and see it as an opportunity to build resilience, creativity, and confidence

Be a more “human” leader and model that type of leadership for others

Empower themselves and others to take risks, find solutions, and move forward despite ambiguity or uncertainty

Create a culture where the learning process is just as important as the results

Keynote by speaker Kristen Hadeed: IGNITE HUMAN LEADERSHIP: BUILD THE CULTURE OF THE FUTURE

If we want our organizations to continue to thrive, the way we think about leadership needs to shift in a big way—and we need to work together to bridge the gap. In this session, Kristen challenges traditional leadership approaches that are no longer working and shares critical ingredients for connected and engaged cultures. She’ll share why human leadership is the answer to navigating the challenges of our world at work; key approaches to remain competitive; and action steps you can take to build the most resilient version of your organization yet.

Attendees will experience an immediately applicable shift in their ability to:

Anticipate the needs of the next generation and successfully bridge generational gaps

Attract and retain the next generation of talent

Reignite engagement, increase talent retention, and reduce unnecessary turnover

Keynote by speaker Kristen Hadeed: COURAGEOUS CONVERSATIONS: DELIVER & ACCEPT FEEDBACK EFFECTIVELY

Courageous conversations are hard, and yet, they’re often the most rewarding and important conversations we can have to help each other grow. When we know how to deliver feedback at work in compassionate, productive ways, we can build trust, deepen relationships, and take our team culture to the next level. In this session, Kristen will teach you how to face the conversations you’ve been putting off and help reframe feedback as a powerful opportunity to foster true connection.

Attendees will experience an immediately applicable shift in their ability to:

Navigate conflict and have courageous conversations that build trust

Develop a habit of delivering compassionate, clear, and timely feedback

Ask better questions to receive better, more impactful feedback

Receive feedback in a way that encourages people to speak up again in the future

Keynote by speaker Kristen Hadeed: BUILD MEANINGFUL RELATIONSHIPS: STRENGTHEN TRUST & INSPIRE BELONGING

So often, we’re told to leave our “personal stuff” at home and make work only about... work. But work is personal, and we’re human. The more we can understand one another and our unique experiences, the more compassion and empathy we’ll bring to work, and the more we’ll feel valued as a result.

In this session, Kristen will share the secret to how she built a business with an industry-leading retention rate—despite the fact that her people spent their days cleaning toilets. It wasn’t the work that kept everyone engaged; it was the focus on relationships that led to a culture of trust and belonging.

You’ll learn how to use curiosity, vulnerability, and empathy to create a similar environment in your organization and discover the connection between deeper relationships and greater results.

Attendees will experience an immediately applicable shift in their ability to:

Deepen their relationships at work and accomplish more together

Be more authentic, vulnerable, and empathetic and inspire the same in others

Strengthen the uniquely “human” parts of their culture in the face of technology and change

Develop, maintain, and elevate trust

Kristen has become one of Cardinal's top external thought leaders. She brings the<br>rare combination of amazing storytelling skills coupled with a powerful vision of the<br>future of leadership. If you are looking to motivate a team or your entire company,<br>there is no greater option available today than Kristen Hadeed.

Kristen is, without question, one of the most inspiring, genuine, and authentic<br>leaders I have ever met. She is truly a treasure chest of creative ideas and has a<br>unique ability to provide and inspire with unconventional wisdom that helps drive a<br>forward-thinking, progressive culture. Kristen’s work with leaders at Whitmor has had<br>a meaningful impact on those individuals, adding fuel to the speed in which we<br>continue to build upon our strong people-first culture. Above all else, I feel very<br>blessed to be able to call Kristen a friend - I’m a stronger leader and person<br>because of it.

Kristen reminded us that we’re in this together. Using a series of approaches to<br>processing our thoughts out loud, Kristen helped us all arrive at the same outcome,<br>which is more clarity on our future. That is priceless! We now experience greater<br>unity in how we show up as leaders, and develop leaders, at our company.

I have always considered myself an empathetic leader. Kristen taught me this is a<br>superpower and not a weakness. She has given me the courage to speak my truth<br>and leverage empathy as a skill that my team values and appreciates. We have<br>always led our business with a human-centered approach, but Kristen's outlook<br>helped me find the right words for what we’re doing—and then take action.

Looking for a leadership expert and speaker who will wow your audience and help<br>them laugh, learn, and lead? Well then Kristen Hadeed is your answer! I had the<br>privilege of creating a custom digital program with Kristen for our Women’s<br>Leadership Group in the Summer of 2020. We received such tremendous feedback<br>from the session that we partnered with Kristen to develop a 4-part custom<br>deep-dive series this past year. Kristen’s energy is incredible and her ability to keep<br>people engaged is electric. I can’t wait to work with her on more upcoming projects.

5 of 5

Of all the speakers we have heard on the topic of today’s changing workforce,<br>Kristen’s message connected best with our senior leadership. It was a rare treat to<br>have an executive who’s technically in the millennial demographic not only talking<br>very objectively and plainly about the characteristics of her generation, but also<br>bringing to the table real, tangible ideas and action items. So much of today’s<br>conversation around generational difference results in divisiveness. To have Kristen<br>come in with a unifying and energizing perspective is a breath of fresh air.

5 of 5

Kristen Hadeed’s work with our college faculty, staff, and students over the last two<br>years has been beyond what any of us could have imagined. Every time she sets<br>foot on our campus, she exceeds our expectations, leaving us with a feeling of<br>rejuvenation and a renewed sense of purpose. Each and every engagement is<br>informative, interactive, creatively delivered, and meaningful. We are so thrilled that<br>we found Kristen and that she decided to work with us.
